Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal.

Libby Monthofer - Service


    Hi!! My name is Libby Monthofer, and I am from Tucson, AZ. I’m majoring in Biology and Philosophy with the plan to go to law school and practice healthcare law. I’m a big coffee lover, corny joke enthusiast, Spokane explorer, and recently a focaccia bread baker!
    I think there are some really unique aspects about serving through Setons. First, we’ve had some awesome opportunities to discover and work with local organizations (and meet the incredible people who run them)! Ashley, Claire, and I are volunteering at Blessings Under the Bridge this year; every Tuesday, we prepare meals that will later be distributed to those in need. Although our time there has been cut a little short because of COVID, it's been great to be a small part of a group that contributes so much to Spokane! But the part that really stands out about serving through Setons is that we are able to experience the other two pillars at the same time. We are learning to become leaders of our community by first serving with the community and finding the ways we can dedicate ourselves to others. Last but not least, we are able to strengthen our friendships with one another by coming together through something we all value.
